The illustrations are gorgeous, the themes are moving and fascinating, including sexism in sports, friends that come and go, how different people deal with stressful and toxic home lives while trying to go to school, the unifying power of working as a team, and the power women have when they stand by each other. It's a slice of life story, not heavy on plot, but there is a progression from the beginning to the end.
